Whoa...I`m really surprised at the judgmental comments here. Yeah, the guy weighed over 1200 LBS. - He`s doing something about it - in 3 years he`s lost 500 of those lbs. He`s still dieting and losing but he`s still waaayyy too heavy to walk on his own. There is no possible way for him to get out and about without this kind of assistance. At least he is making himself part of the community - that will help him want to continue to lose the weight.

Sorry for the sound off here but some of the comments really got me upset...

hamalina: I`ve got news for you...losing 500 lbs. is an amazing feat. You say you don`t see what`s so great about that when it`s just a fraction of his weight? Well...he`s now almost half the man he used to be. Every pound he loses gets him closer to a normal weight. So every single pound counts! That`s the big deal.

Ok...sorry again for the rant...touched a hot button for me I guess. Moving on...

He seems like a really happy guy! Although I think anyone would, feeling 500 pounds lighter. Getting out and moving around is good for the mind and body. I`m sure he`ll continue to lose a lot more weight now that he has this. :)

bustamovexxx: Yea I feel the same way. It`s almost like he`s a celebrity for his weight. You lose the weight, you lose the fame. Yea he will be know as the person who dropped 900 pounds but then it`s gone.

Newbie: The man is 730 pounds. There is a chance he can`t walk. People who are 400 pounds have trouble walking.

"he lives in mexico howd he afford it? "s0rd3dvis1on, FYI, we make money in Mexico. So next time, before making comments like that one, think.Now, about the guy, I read he lost weight following the zone diet. There people, a diet that works XD

Most people who get up to that weight have other issues other than they `just let themselves go` women for example a lot of the times put on weight after a serious change in their life, or a trauma as a child like being molested.

And then a lot of them have glands that aren`t working right so their body doesn`t get rid of the fat properly.

I`m a fat chick, but frankly I`ve been fatter and I will never go back to that.. yay for him though and actually being able to get out there and do things

why on earth is he so proud of himself? - people with problems like stuffing un-necessary food down your through, be helped - waste of money - there are starving people in the world, in his village - give one god-damn cheese burger to them - stop thanking god for being so wealthy while other around you die
